REVEALED: How To End Bad Governance In Nigeria Within 2 Years

If there's just ONE word with which you can describe and sum up Good Governance, what would it be? Think about it for a moment...

It didn't take long before the #EndSARS protests morphed into a call to #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria; hence, it is imperative that we really understand what good and bad governance really is. CLARITY is the first step to transformation and change.

When it comes to interpersonal relationships, LOVE is what sums up everything that makes for a healthy relationship. In like manner, when it comes to the relationship between citizens and government, JUSTICE, more precisely, SOCIAL JUSTICE is the word that perfectly defines and..

sums up everything that makes for Good Governance. Aristotle aptly said “man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and JUSTICE, he is the worst of all...But justice is the bond of men in states, and the administration of justice,

which is the determination of what is just, is the principle of order in political society.”

Social Justice in itself stands on five pillars:
Human Rights
Equity
Access to Opportunities
Diversity &
Political Participation

Social Justice is perfectly expressed in this statement:

“where the child of a nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody”. Since we are clear on what Social Justice means and how it is synonymous with Good Governance, how can we make it happen in Nigeria within the shortest possible time? I will tell you:

To achieve quick results, we must identify the most crucial of the five pillars of social justice, and that is POLITICAL PARTICIPATION. While the #EndSARS movement sensitized our political consciousness, we must move to the next stage — political participation.

An ancient Greek philosopher, Pericles, said “We do not say that a man who takes no interest in politics is a man who minds his own business; we say that he has no business here at all”.

So important was the idea of being politically involved to the Athenians that our word “idiot” comes from the Greek term idiōtēs, meaning “private citizen” — one who wasn't involved in the public life of politics. The lack of active citizen participation in political affairs...

...becomes the fertile ground for bad governance. Since man is a social animal, active citizen participation in political affairs is made possible through the formation of Associations, Groups, Unions, Collectives etc. with the sole aim of MONITORING the political space,

& getting involved in policy formulation. Whatever is not monitored will be mismanaged, & whatever is mismanaged can't PROSPER!

With the galvanizing power of social media, this can be easily achieved & consolidated b4 the next elections, which is just about 2 yrs from now...

We have agonized enough, now it's time to get ORGANIZED. A New Nigeria is possible...
